The Symbolism of Water Many works of literature use symbols to represent abstract ideas. One symbol that is commonly used is water. Water is a viable symbol because it is versatile. It can be used to represent many different ideals because water in itself is ever changing.
any milk or milk by-products, such as cheeses, ice cream, butter, etc is considered dairy. Soy milk is okay, as is rice milk. Eggs are considered dairy, but as they don't come from a cow, I am not sure that would be included in your excluding dairy--same goes for goat's milk and it's by-products.
Calcium-fortified soy milk also counts as a dairy food. The USDA recommends everyone over the age of 9 consume 3 cups from the dairy food group each day. For non-fluid dairy products, a 1-cup serving includes 1.5 ounces of hard cheese, 2 ounces of processed cheese, Â½ cup ricotta cheese and 2 cups cottage cheese.
